shot 7 retouch

I always saw room for improvement in this particular section of the painting, and finally found the time to revisit it.

(old version)

shot 5 WIP

a few different atmospheric iterations (also, this version is missing the foreground)

(clean plate)

getting there!

shot 6 detail

Here's a detail of my latest painting - close do being complete!

mush-dev

having fun designing the mushrooms for shot 6 - entering the cave (above are a few "tops" and the latest version of the model - still tweaking the SSS settings).




The foreground mushroom will be fully CG, while the background ones will be rendered out and put on cards.

shot 6 update

90% there!

shot 6 WIP

(early concept art for this shot)

There are a few elements that still have to be layed in, and a lot of the areas where the rock meets the water hasn't been resolved yet. I'll be leaving some of the more stark god-rays that I'd like to be there for the compositing stage, but I feel that the atmosphere is beginning to define the space nicely.
